Hello and thank you for the response. I got it at Goodwill so that’s probably not very helpful.

That's fine. It is authentic, made between 1989-1993. It appears to be a compact pouch #9620.

Hello, I’m looking to authenticate this Coach purse. Serial number looks to be 025 5219

Thank you

Hi authenticators. I was just kicked off eBay with the following pics. Can you clarify for me why this is a fake? I got from estate of deceased aunt and it looks like other Devon's I've seen

I don't see anything wrong with it.

What EXACTLY did the notice that you received from Ebay say? It would help if you could post a copy, the exact wording of the removal notice is important. The bag in your photos is a genuine Devon Bag made in 1992 or 1993. Could there have been some kind of technical violation, like a disclaimer of authenticity?.

Thank you so much! Will try to post the attachment here. I have been changing my mind a lot about whether I want to sell or keep the bag. So I pulled and relisted a few times. Perhaps one of their algorithms clocked that as fishy behavior? -maybe I will just sit on this for a month and make sure I really want to sell, then start a new listing. Do you think that could be it?

View attachment 5755199

You CAN'T re-list it. Did you relist it again after you received the notice? That's absolutely forbidden under Ebay rules.

You can fight the removal but if you're thinking about keeping the bag, that is the easiest option. Any authorization to relist a removed item MUST come from an actual member of Ebay management, not just a Customer Service or phone rep, which is a mistake a lot of sellers make.

No, I had it up (and removed it) maybe 3x this past month. I had been trying to make up my mind about another bag purchase (that I would have needed this sale money for). I never received this message until this morning after I relisted it. This was the first time I got this message ever. Seems strange but I guess the universe is telling me that I would indeed regret selling it (which is exactly what I had been going back and forth about ☺️)

My advice would be to keep it and enjoy it as a memory of your Gran. It looks to be in excellent condition for a 30 year old handbag.

If you DO decide to fight the removal, not only is @BeenBurned a veteran of helping sellers get unfairly removed items reinstated but she and @whateve have also posted a lot of advice on the subject of problems with Ebay at our Ebay Question and Answer thread:

eBay, etc. General Question/Answer Thread

Do you have a quick question that you would like to get answered but do not want to start a whole thread? Here is the new thread to post in! I am hoping that by having a thread such as this it will eliminate the OT posts in some of the other non-related threads. Please post your questions here...

forum.purseblog.com

ETA- As for being pulled two ways about keeping or selling it, look at it this way - if you decide to keep it, you can always sell it at some future date. But if you sell it now and later wish you hadn't, it's probably gone for good.

Thanks! That's really good advice!!!

I'm so sorry because there's nothing wrong with that bag and no valid reason for the removal. WHen you say you were "kicked off ebay," I assume you meant that the listing was removed but not that you're restricted from listing Coach.

I saw one of your recently ended (but not removed) listings for the bag and there's nothing in the listing that should have raised red flags.

Hii, does anyone know what this bag is ? ( If it is in fact authentic ?)
Ebay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/1554844577...tfUNAiQ0ppVx2+2QKGOTvxkg==|tkp:Bk9SR4jikffoYQ
seller : ahillis59
eBay item number:155484457789
Notes : it looks like a tall city bag but the front flap is too big, and it's got a big front gusseted pocket , the strap looks wider than a city bag

 

[mandy nicole]

Good morning, would anyone be willing to authenticate this bag? The creed is what has me curious.

Item: Vintage Leather Coach purse crossbody bag
Listing number: 134374102736
Seller and site where listed: eBay, kathrich_32
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134374102736
Comments: “this is a coach bean bag” — I’ve read about this before in the forum but didn’t expect to see that on what I think is possibly a Coach Carson Zip (9939)??





Edit to add: my mind cannot make sense of this actually being the word “scratches” but looking at another Bean Bag Creed I think I can see it is it just such a small imprint that it sort of bleeds together? Or am I trying to convince myself of it? Haha

I believe that bag is authentic and the "bean bag" stamp is a legit Coach mistake.

I agree that "scratches" looks odd but I think it's a lighting/angle distortion that makes it appear to have a spelling error.

Other opinions are welcome.

It looks like a Ranch Bag, style 9852 from the early 1990s

 

[mandy nicole]

Can’t edit my earlier post but I actually now believe it is a Swagger Spectator 6820, which I found was introduced in Fall 1989, so the bag was probably made somewhere between end of 1989-end of 1993 (before they changed serial number format)
